Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The PROFLO PFWO904 Waste and Overflow Drain Body is designed for passive operation, managing water drainage from your bathtub or sink. Its primary function is to allow water to flow out efficiently while preventing large debris from entering the plumbing system.
- Fluss tal-Ilma: Water will naturally flow through the drain opening when the stopper (if present and open) is disengaged.
- Overflow Function: In bathtubs, the overflow opening prevents water from spilling over the rim if the main drain is blocked or the faucet is left running. Water will divert into the overflow channel and down the drain pipe.
- Stopper Compatibility: This drain body is compatible with standard bathtub stoppers (not included). Ensure your stopper fits securely to retain water when desired.
Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance will help keep your PROFLO drain functioning properly and maintain its chrome finish.
- Tindif tal-Finitura: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Tneħħija tad-Debris: Periodically remove any hair or debris that may accumulate around the drain opening to prevent clogs. A drain snake or a pair of pliers can be used carefully to remove blockages.
- Iċċekkjar għal Tnixxijiet: Occasionally inspect the connections underneath the tub/sink for any signs of leaks, especially after heavy use. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
